Noms!

The Oscar noms were announced this morning. The guys that I work with had to come in to the office at 2am to do the live coverage because it was east coast time. Sucks to be them. Although, I came into the office and there was a lot of bacon waiting for me. Anyway, here's the list of all the noms. It's long of course, but the break down is as follows in case you don't want to read the whole thing: The King’s Speech has 12 noms, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay. True Grit captured ten nominations. Inception and The Social Network each garnered eight. The Fighter took seven noms.
